Mushroom and Tomato SaladI call this an all together salad. It combines things DH and DD thought they wouldn't like. But it surprised them; they really liked it. I didn't measure ingredients. I just made us each a nice serving.

Ingredients:

  • avocado
  • green seedless grapes

  • salt and pepper

Directions:

Wash all veggies. Break lettuce into bite size pieces. Peel and cube avocado. Take grapes off stems. Chop or break walnuts into pieces. Slice cucumber and green onion.

Mix all ingredients together and add dressing plus a drizzle of boysenberry syrup. Sprinkle with Craisins and crumbled feta cheese if you like.

Servings: Varies depending on size.

Besides loving all of the ingredients in this salad, I like it because you can put it together a day ahead, and it will remain fresh and crispy as long as you don't add the dressing until just before serving.

One lonely leftover baked potato in my refrigerator and scallions in my garden inspired me to try making potato salad. It was so successful that I now make baked potatoes especially for this recipe. A great summer side!
